Turbaned man kneeling before a glowing magic dial, engraving

A dramatic engraving shows a turbaned man kneeling in the foreground, gazing at a glowing circular dial with inscriptions on the right. Behind him stands an armored figure holding a tattered banner and a drawn sword, while a faint face appears in a Gothic arch above, and a lamp lights an unrolled scroll at lower right.
